Information Fluency

List 3 strategies for determining how reliable a webpage’s info is:
  • To determine how reliable a sites information is, you must see if there is an author to the page.  Is there an “about us section”?
  • Is the information accurate?
  • You can tell by viewing when the article was posted.  The website may be inaccurate if it has been a while since being updated.
